The Freeport Bulldogs will take on the Bozeman Bucks at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Freeport 3.2, Bozeman 2.5) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Freeport had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Rutherford on Friday. The Bulldogs put the hurt on the Rams with a sharp 10-3 victory. Considering the Bulldogs have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Carson Vogler was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. That home run marked the first that he launched this season. Another player making a difference was Braden Roberts, who scored a run while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Freeport always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Rutherford only posted an OBP of .312.
Meanwhile, Bozeman had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured an 8-7 W against the War Eagles.
Freeport has been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 12 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season.

As for Bozeman, they pushed their record up to 19-3 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home.
Freeport suffered a grim 10-0 defeat to Bozeman in their previous meeting back in February. Will the Bulldogs have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
